Witches, Sluts, Feminists

Conjuring the Sex Positive

De: Kristen J. Sollee

Narrado por: Kristen J. Sollee

“Like being deemed a witch hundreds of years ago, being presumed a slut today is cause for ostracism, abuse, and death”.... Archetypes of “witch” and “slut” have been used to police female sexuality and punish women; now, feminists are reclaiming them as positive affirmations. This book unearths the sex positive feminist legacy of the witch in art, music, politics, and popular culture, connecting the fictional witch we love to emulate and fear with real women, past and present.

Kristen J. Sollee is instructor at the New School and founding editrix of Slutist, an award-winning sex positive feminist website.

Slut

Need I say more? If you haven’t heard, the review limit is apparently 15 word.

Historical facts with a modern approach.

Well written and narrated. The author exposes the persecution of feminist ideals through sex, religion, politics and culture. I really like the candid language used to express the empowerment of women.

Pretty good

I love that she said so much in such a brief amount of time. Great overview and I learned stuff!

Every woman should read

Amazing history of women and how we have been denigrated for owning our own autonomy or sexual identity. Every woman should read this book.

Know your history

As a third generation witch (that I know of), I've only recently begun to explore and appreciate the heritage of these gifts. Having resources which take our tribe out of the urban legend and history books and being these amazing women into the light and perspective of modern day is crucial to normalizing and humanizing our existence. Thank you, Kristen! I've already downloaded the next book 🤘🏻🖤

Great insight into the legacy of the witch and the roll she plays in society in our modern day culture. Highly recommend to spark the inner witch all women posses.

loved it! going to listen again and again!

this was an absolutely incredible book that I have recommended to every feminine friend I have.

Well studied, well written. An ambitious summary of a crucial topic over a large time span and many aspects of society.

These conversations about women and accusations placed against them for their individual power and free expression are long overdue. This book is a drop in the bucket of what I hope our world comes to recognize.

So perfect!

Perfect blend of witches, sluts, and feminists! She’s such a brilliant writer, speaking on topics that matter so much. I love that we’re reclaiming these words as our own!

This Feminist Crone recommends it!

Sollee's connections really resonated with my personal experience and education of all three labels.
